RTL Support Improvement Using dir="auto"

Hi,

We’d like to request a small improvement to better support Right-to-Left (RTL) languages such as Arabic, while continuing to fully support Left-to-Right (LTR) languages like English.

The proposal is to add the following attribute to the message content container:

dir="auto"

Using dir="auto" allows the browser to automatically detect the text direction based on the first strong character. This provides:

•   Correct rendering for RTL languages (e.g., Arabic)•   No impact on LTR languages•   A simple, standards-based solution with no additional logic required

This change would significantly improve the user experience for multilingual content.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Best regards,
